American Visiting.

There is crudlty in the way visit
ing is made in this country which
astonishes foreigners. The Americans
have talent for visiting. They OBJ
serve not time nor place in tn is matter.
They come too easily. They stay too
long. Their calls are prolonged to
visits; their visits protracted to inilic-
lions. They come like mistortunes,
always in ba'talions. They say "how
dye do, and how dye do, and how
dye do again. and they vary the
monotony by sometimes adding to all
this cumulative questioning: "Well,
how do you dog" They stand alto
gether too much on the "order of
their going;' they never 30 at once.
One may Judge of the amount of
civilization man or a woman posses
SEES by the way be or she pays his visit.
The Engishman says: ~ must go"
and goes. The American says: "Well
| suppose must be going,' and does
not go-he stays. He would keep on
staying with The slightest encourage
ment from his host, who Is fairly
tired out with his long. windedness.
The amount of good nature that is
required to KEEP up country house
in this country, and to protect it from,
not burglars, but visitors, species
OF social housebreakers, is truly i'm
mense.

calculates tha. IL the consumption Il
GOO, 900, GOO cubic feet daily, and the
waste 100. coo, 900 cubic feet, the CASTER
ritory within thirty miles Of Pittsburgh
would be exhausted in about eight
years. "This estimate is of course
fanciful one" but shows that those
persons who affirm that the quantity Is
practically inexhaustible are mistaken.
Professor LESLEY, State gcologist OF
Pennsylvania, remarks, regarding gas
areas, that "they are evidently small,
scattered irregularly, hemmed in by
water areas and oil areas, and not abso-
lutely stationary, but shift their posl-
tons slowly. This shifting, he sug-
gesis, will become comparatively ra-
pid as the stock Of gas is drawn of IN
the direction of the working wells, and
what was al first gas-feld becomes
changed to an oil or water-field. D."
As Mr. ATKINS, in his letter which
we published last week, claimed that
natural gas might be obtained In Ches-
terfeld county, Va, we quote what
this book says as to where it occurs.
"In general it may be said that natural
gas is found in varying quantities
all through the territory from the Hud-
son river on the east to California on
the west. In New York, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Ten
neSsee, Alabama, Louisiana, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Kansas, Colombo, Dakota, Utah, Wy
oming, and California its existence is
reported. The most important fields
are those of Western Pennsylvania and
Findlay. Ohio" Wherever rock oil
has been found, there and in the sur
rounding region, rock gas is sure
to exist" We notice, too, that
Professor LESLEY is quoted as saying
that wherever the bituminous coal-beds
have been changed into anthracite or
semi-bituminous coal, it is reasonable
to suppose that the natural gas has dis
appeared. And as the bituminous coal
in Chesterfield has not been changed
into semi-bituminous nor anthracite,
Mr.. ATKINS may be right in his theory
that that county could supply Rich
mond and Petersburg with natural gas.
Nevertheless, the fact must not be over
looked that Virginia is not named in
this book as one of the States wherein
natural Gas occurs.

The Heating of Railroad Cars.


Public attention is almost everywhere
directed just now to the solution of the
problem OF heating cars without com
polling the passengers to run the risk
of being burned up in them. Mr.
CHAUNCEY DEPEw well-known rail-
road man-is reported to have said that
it was now settled-that is, since the
late Vermont disaster-that stoves must
be dispensed with. If stoves must be
dispensed with, so must lamps and oil
other lighting contrivances which in
case of accident might communicate fire
to the car.
What is to be substituted? The
weight of authority seems to be in ia
vor Of steam; but steam will not an
swer for lighting purposes. 1t IS OBJ
iected to steam that the boiler cannot
spare the necessary amount of it, and
also that in very cold days, when the
mercury is below zero, it does not tho
roughly warm the cars. We agree with
one of our northern contemporaries in
the opinion that such an objection as
that of the want of capacity in the
boiler ought not to be considered, see
ing how easily it may be overcome.
Some way of preventing such disasters
as attended the two recent railroad ac-
cidents must be found.
The Providence Journal in discuss
ing this question says:
DIR. Burton, of Richmond, Va, as
serts that he has invented an electric
heater for railway use; but the general
problem of heating by electricity is
hardly yet near enough to practical So
luton to invite other than a curious
attention to such an invention.
Is it not evident that, if it can he
used, electricity is the one thing that
can make both heat and light without
danger?-the one thing that would Sc
cure absolute immunity from tire?-the
one kind of fire and the one kind of light
that would go out the moment an acct
dent should happen and the current be
cut off? But can it be used? We will
not presume to decide; but we will say
that we have seen the electric heater in
operation in the presence of scien-
tifc experts, and that the only
objection we ever heard made
TO il was that it would consume too
much of the power of the engine if the
element of economy was to be taken
into the account. But this element must
be omitted. The public have deter
! mined that "the stove and the lamp
must 60" whatever may be the cost of
their successors. What will be the re-
sult as 10 DR.. BURTON S heater, we know
not; but we have heard that some rail
road magnates are looking into its
merits, and will soon adopt or reject or
improve IT.
+. S. Since writing the above we have
come across the following in the New
York Tribune:
lately investigated an arrangement
of lighting and heating by gas, with
an automatic device for cutting off the
supply instantly on the car being over
turned or leaving the track. To Mr..
Depew would suggest this system, if
he has not yet seen it, as it is so OBJ
viously practicable. ct. p. A."

ARaiiroad Makes a Big Cut,

A Princess Anne (Md.) special says:
The New York, Philadelphia and Nor
folk railroad authorities have during
the past few days made wholesale
reduction in the force on the road, and
a very large number of laborers and
operators have been discharged. All
night operators at the various tele-
graph offices along its line have been
turned off from Delmar, Del, to Cape
Charles, Va, a distance OF about nine
ty-six miles. Under this arrangement
all aepots between these points are
closed at night, and passengers are
compelled 10 remain out OF doors to
catch the night trains, which is great
inconvenience to the travelling public.
Besides this wholesale discharge OF night
operators many other reductions have
been made. All tank-men along the
line have been discharged, and the du-
ties of attending TO the water-supply
have been put upon the agents at the
several stations. The force at the shops
at Cape Charles, the southern terminus
Of the road. has been reduced TO about
one tenth of what il formerly was. Bag
gage-masters have been dispensed with
and the section gangs, formerly COM
posed of six men, have been cut down
TO two men each.

AND STILL ANOTHER. r. l..
Fitzgerald, Of Austin, Fields A Co.,
the drummer who has played such a
conspicuous part in our State and Cir
emit courts for having refused TO pay
his license in cash, and standing on his
deliyeranoe after rendering coupons,
applied 10 the commissioner OF the
revenue this morning, rendering money
in payment therefor. Our State courts
held that Fitzgerald had not paid his
license. Royal appealed to Bonds
court. and Bond overruled the decision
of yirginia's Supreme Court and or
dered Fitzgeralds release. Fitzgerald
was released, and Royal & Go. -four
ished their trumpets and heralded a
mighty victory.
Behold the result of the victory
Mr.. Fitzgerald has the endorsement
of Royall and Bond. Bonds court has
decided that he has legally paid his
license, and yet
Mr.. Fitzgerald walks up to the cap
tain's Office and pays his license in cash.
Why is this? .
Mr.. Fitzgerald says he is tired Of
being detained. He is sufficiently
amused with the fight which Virginia's
loyal officers have made against him and
says the saving in coupons doesn't pay
for the trouble attached TO using them.
This is clear and conclusive evidence
that if all the State officers do their
full duty and throw all possible obsta-
Giles in the way of these coupon-users
they will have solution of the debt
question. @-g--- - ~
Let our efficient State officers in
Richmond keep their shoulders to the
wheel and force their subordinates to a
proper discharge of their duty.
